October 16, 2016

Migell Ormsby (DeWitt Clinton H.S./Kingston, Jamaica) has become the seventh player in Tompkins Cortland Community College men’s soccer history to be named first team NJCAA Region III All-Region. The sophomore midfielder was named among the best 13 players in the region in voting by coaches from the 18 teams in the region.

Ormsby, who also was repeat all-conference selection by the Mid-State Athletic Conference, had 15 points in 12 games this season.

The last Panther to be recognized with two regional first-team selections was Morgan Shutter in 2013 and 2014.

Three Panthers Named All-Conference

October 27, 2016

The 2016 Mid-State Athletic Conference (MSAC) men’s soccer post-season honors have been announced and Tompkins Cortland Community College has placed three players on the 20-player all-MSAC team: Migell Ormsby (DeWitt Clinton H.S./Kingston, Jamaica), Jason Anderson (Mynderse Academy/Seneca Falls), and Jared Brooks (Ithaca H.S./Ithaca). Conference champion SUNY Broome and runner-up Cayuga Community College each had four players selected. Tompkins Cortland and Onondaga Community College each had three while Corning Community College, Finger Lakes Community College, and Jefferson Community College each had two selections.

Ormsby was one of just three repeat selections on the team. He was third on the Panthers in scoring with 15 points on six goals and three assists. Fellow sophomore Anderson led the Panthers with seven goals and was second in points with 16. Brooks, the lone freshman among the Tompkins Cortland selections, scored four goals this season, tied for third most on the team.

Tompkins Cortland has had at least three players named all-MSAC every season since 1996.

Panthers Left Out of Playoffs

Wednesday, October 19, 2016

No postseason for the Panthers men's and women's soccer teams. The NJCAA Region III playoff seedings were announced Saturday night and neither Tompkins Cortland team earned a bid. First time in over a decade that the playoffs won't include both teams.

Panthers Drop Regular Season Finale

A shutout loss to SUNY Broome Wednesday has left the Tompkins Cortland Community College men’s soccer team in a rare position: unsure of the postseason. The 2-0 loss to Broome leaves Tompkins Cortland with a record of 6-6-2 overall, 5-6-2 in Region III, and 2-3-1 in the Mid-State Athletic Conference. Broome is 15-1-1 overall, 14-1-1 in Region III, and 6-0 in the MSAC.

A win Wednesday would have helped secure a return to the playoffs, but the Panthers couldn’t handle the Hornets. After a scoreless first half, Broome scores twice in the first five minutes of the second half. The goals proved to be the final scores of the game as, despite two Broome players receiving red cards and the Hornets having to play with just nine players on the field for the final 23 minutes, Tompkins Cortland wasn’t able to get on the scoreboard.

The Panthers now must wait to see if they get an invitation to the NJCAA playoffs when the seedings are announced Saturday evening. The Panthers have made the playoffs in 12 straight years, the longest such streak for any Tompkins Cortland team.

Coaches–Men's Soccer

Andy Davis

Head Coach

Region III Co-Coach of the Year2013

MSAC Coach of the Year
2005, 2007, 2010, 2012, 2013

Coach Davis has completed 11 seasons directing the Panthers men's soccer program, compiling a record of 131-68-11 and ten consecutive regional playoff appearances. The 2013 season ranks as one of the best in nation, as Tompkins Cortland went undefeated during the regular season, winning another Mid-State Athletic Conference championship and advancing to the Region III championship game. Coach Davis was named the Region III Co-Coach of the Year and the MSAC Coach of the Year, and seven players were honored with all-conference, region, and/or all-American recognition.

the 2014 season was the latest chapter in what has been an amazingly successful book for Davis. After spending 2004 as the top assistant, Davis took control of the program in 2005. His first year saw the Panthers win the MSAC title, advance to the NJCAA Region III semifinals, and finish the year ranked 14th in the nation. The 2006 campaign saw a return to the NJCAA playoffs and a national ranking as high as eighth. In 2007 the Panthers again claimed the conference title and played their way to the regional semifinals. In 2008 Tompkins Cortland posted a win over nationally-ranked Genesee in the opening round of the playoffs to again advance to the quarterfinals. The 2009 season saw the Panthers win two playoff games to advance to the Region III Final Four. In 2010, after winning another MSAC title, the team made it all the way to the Region III championship game. 2011 saw the Panthers again advance to the regional title game, posting a seven-game unbeaten streak along the way. A fourth MSAC Coach of the Year award and another Region III final four appearance came in 2012.

Coach Davis brings tremendous credentials to the program, both as a player and a coach. An all-state player at Binghamton High, he was an All-American and national player of the year while leading Herkimer County Community College to the 2000 national championship. He earned a full athletic scholarship to the University of Evansville (NCAA- Division I) before finishing his playing career at SUNY Cortland. As a Red Dragon, he helped the team to their first SUNYAC title in nearly a decade. Prior to coming to Tompkins Cortland, he served as an assistant coach at SUNY Cortland for two seasons, helping coach the team to SUNYAC titles both seasons.

The last three seasons, Coach Davis has worked with the Greater Binghamton Futbol Club, a member of the National Premier Soccer League. He serves as the assistant coach for the Thunder, which won the NPSL Keystone Conference in 2013.

Panthers Clinch Second Straight MSAC Title

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

For the second straight year, and the third time in four years, the Tompkins Cortland Community College men’s soccer team is the Mid-State Athletic Conference champion. The Panthers finished a perfect conference season with a 5-0 win over Cayuga Community College Wednesday. The win leaves Tompkins Cortland 6-0 in the MSAC this year, and 21-1-2 in conference games over the past four seasons. It was the first conference loss of the year for Cayuga.

The game also featured the first collegiate hat trick for freshman Morgan Shutter (Odessa-Montour H.S./Alpine). Shutter opened the scoring late in the first half, taking a pass from Cheick Ndiaye (Brooklyn International H.S./Brooklyn) and working into the box for the successful shot with 2:21 left in the half. The score remained 1-0 into the half, but it didn’t take long for the Panthers to heat up in the second half.

Just 79 seconds into the second half, the Panthers made it 2-0 on a goal by Joseph Valle (Monroe Woodbury H.S./Highland Mills), set up by a shot by Shutter that the Cayuga goal keeper saved but couldn’t control.

The final score came from Malko with 16:33 left, making the score 5-0.

Tompkins Cortland keeper McZiggy Richards (School for Human Rights H.S./Brooklyn) had two saves for the shutout, and received help in the form of a spectacular play by sweeper Evan Holl (Marathon H.S./Marathon) midway through the second half. After Richards came out to challenge a ball, the Cayuga player got by him and appeared to have an open goal, but Holl raced back in time to clear the ball just before it crossed into the goal.

Tompkins Cortland’s record is now 11-0-3 overall and 6-0-1 in the West Division of Region III. The Panthers host Sussex County Community College Saturday to close out the regular season before heading into the NJCAA playoffs
